Largemouth bass anglers sometimes
hang up the fishing tackle in winter.

The cold-blooded fish, so chilled they can hardly move, refuse to bite, especially a lure.

But what if a lure were made to fish slowly?

Evolve’s Flat Slider 75 is made to be fished slowly enough to catch bass in the cold, when the water's in the mid 40 degrees to the 50s.

The lure is a category all its own,
the company says.

It swims in a wide wobble at a speed built to make the lethargic bass hit.

A unique bill, shaped like an oyster shell, creates the wobble.

The 3-inch ½-ounce hard lure is “flat” sided, maybe the thinnest crank bait on the market.

The lure also features internal rattles and forward fixed weights for longer casts, including on cold-stiffened lines.

The lure, available in different colors, can also be fished year-long, and for different species, including smallmouth bass.

Manufacturers struggled to create lures that could be fished at a creep, the company says.

Other lures, when the retrieve was slowed, tumbled and dredged bottom.

Or they were floating lures, and rose too quickly, when the retrieve was slowed.  

The FlatSlider 75 is a floating diver, but neither digs hard on the retrieve nor rises too quickly when the retrieve is stopped.

That’s a largemouth’s speed in the cold.
